Windows 7: End Of The Line
If you have not heard by now, Microsoft has ended extended support for Windows 7 as of January 14, 2020.
What does this mean?
This means that Windows 7 is now considered to be abandonware. Microsoft will no longer provide free security updates for Windows 7 to keep your PC secure from exploits, and other types of malware. Other software companies will eventually do the same thing as well in a few years or so after Microsoft's extended support date, and end their support of releasing new versions of their software for Windows 7.
Microsoft strongly recommends that the consumer upgrades to Windows 8.1 or Windows 10 to continue receiving security updates.
For users who are using either Windows 7 Pro and Windows 7 Enterprise on Volume License Keys can choose to continue receiving Windows 7 updates, but at a yearly adding cost set by Microsoft though until 2023.

I remember having Windows 7 back at my home in 2015 and at school in 2015 - 2018. Welp, it's too bad to get great apps such as Windows Media Center. R.I.P. Windows 7 (2009 - 2020). By the way, I have a 2018 MacBook Pro.

Screw Windows 10 and 8. Despite the only OS being supported is 10 the older Windows OSs were awesome! Anything before Windows 8 was awesome especially XP and ME which were the 2 computers I grew up with along with 7.

@TCT101 yo microsoft just goes to your house and shoots you then updates your computer to windows 8

@Saber Still, even though if you're a skilled user or not, people have to abandon ship Windows 7 and move to either Windows 8.1 or Windows 10. As I have already stated in the video description.
Leaving your computer unpatched with no more security and software updates is not a good idea. Eventually as more time passes after Extended Support ends by Microsoft, it's going to be even more unusable to use an unsupported operating system by Microsoft.
